1905 GREETING.
This is the first issue of THE
TIMEs for 1905, and with it we
wish to express our thanks for
the generous patronage and the
kindness of our friends gener
ally. The many expressions- of
approval of the course we have
pursued, and the encouraging
expressions of a continuence of
support is very gratifying to us,
and inspires us to strive the
hairder to make THE TIMES a
reliable and enjoyable countv
newspaper.
It will be our purpose to merit
an increased subscription, and
an increased advertising patron
age. We shall from time to
time as occasions warrant, give
our views upon public questions
without desiring to assume the
role of dictator. The opin
ions* expressed in our editorial
columns are intended to cause
people to think, and if our read
ers can agree with us of course
it will be gratifying, but on the
other hand, if they cannot agree
with the views we express, we
extend to them the free use of
our columns to argue the matter,
and bold ourself subject to be
convinced.
We shall try to be fair, no un
due advantage shall have a place
in these columns, our methods in
conducting a uewspaper shall be
free.from underhandedness. and
we shall n6t become entangled
with individuals or interests,
which will prevent us from do
ing our duty'towards the public.
This is an agricultural section,
the prop of our business inter
ests depends upon the success
of the farmer; every calling,
trade or piofession must depend
upon the agricultural interests,
therefore we conceive it our
duty to watch and guard that
interest to the best of our alIili
ty; we have done so in the past,
and as a result of it, we made
enemies of an element whose
only interest in the farmer was
to bleed him, and keep him de
pandent, but we are proud that
we were enabled to make ene
mies of that element and prouder
still are we know that the peo
ple recognize it, and stand by us
the closer. We shall continue
the policy we have been pursu
ing and shall expect the people
whose interests we are striving
to serve, to become active work
ers to sustain THE TIMES.
WE ARE FOR TEMPERANCE.
The article of Rev. J. M. Hol
liday in-this issue, in the second
paragraph, seems to regard our
'remarks in a recent issue rela
ting to the organization of the
Temperance League as an ar
raignment of those enlisted in
the cause, such was not our pur
pose at all: we only meant to im
ply that hypocrisy encouraged or
winked at, was an evil in more
- need of reformation than intem
.perance. We have no opposition
to the Temperance League, and
believe if it is carried out in a
sane and practical manner, great
good to the cause of temperance
will result, and we shall always
be found ready to lend a helping
hand to any cause, the object of
which is to uplift mankind, but
"we have no faith in that effort at
reformation when there are those
-who make themselves conspicu
ous leaders, and who are notori
-ously looked upon as men that
commit graver sins than liquor
drinking -men who profe s s
piety. and who use the church
and religious movements as the
instruments to accomplish their
unholy purposes, the same as a
burglar uses the "jimmy" to
break open a safe-men profes
sing piety, who uplift their hands
and eyes in holy horror at a
hand with a glass of whiskey in
it, but gleefully sieze upon an
opportunity to take financial ad
vantage of that hand when it be
comes palsied, even from the
effects of drink, and men pro
fessing a religious interest in
their fellowmen where the pub
ic may applaud them, leave the
poor-to starve, the sick to suffer,
and to die, and the dead to go
unburied, and more. they pub
licly pray to be forgiven for their
trespasses and at every oppor
tunity they trespass upon those
who are too weak to prevent
them; these same men, would-be
guardians of the conduct of other
men, pray in public for forgive
ness for those who trespass
against them, and in every im
aginable underhanded and cow
ardly way avenge themselves on
those they think obstruct them
in their evil designs-They pro
fess religion and practice sin,
they profess love and practice
hate.
These are some of the greater
sins we referred to as needing
the work of good people to re
form; they are more damning
than the "damning cup," they
are more dangerous, becuse, like
a thief in the night, they take
us unawares
We do noa man to onvey the
idea that the Temperance League
is made up of such material, but
there is so much of hypocritical
cant in the reformation move
ments, that the very fact of any
conspicuous member, being sus
pected of false profession s,
throws a cloud over the whole
organization. and makes people
skeptical. We did not enroll our
self as a member of the organi
zation, but this did not mean that
we are opposed to its prime ob
jects; we shall gladly lend our
support towards the building up
of a healthy temperance senti
ment, and by this we do not mean
that we are going to help break
up the dispensary and bring up
on the people a condition of a
burdensome taxation, with a
flood of liquor: no, we mean,
by open, fair and square
argument and reason,to endeavor
to have the law enforced as it is
written, and to try and convince
that intemperance is ruinous to
mind, body and soul; in this way
bring about a dropping off in
the consumption. In our judg
ment such a plan will have more
practical effect in furthering the
cause of temperance than the
plans of those who wear a white
ribbon on the breast and enlist
themselves to guard and protect
the dispensary.
We believe the dispensary is
corrupt and have always believ
ed it, and the festering sore be
gan to show signs eating into
our body politic at the birth of
the institution, we did our best
to check it, but the political Pro
hibitionists, together with the
dispensary crew would not let
us, and ever since, whenever
an effort has been made to do
something to the dispensary,
these political-prohibs. for poli
cy or spleen go to the Devil and
lend him a hand, and thereby
keep the thing fastened to us
that they might have a stalking
horse when there is something
in sight.

The burning of bales of cotton
and loads of cotton seed by farm
ers in Georgia and Texas, is the
heighth of folly, and reminds us
of a certain creed of religious
fanatics, who had a set time for
going to heavin. Before the day
approached they disposed of all
of their belongings, and at the
scheduled hour assembled upon
the house tops to await the gold
en chariots to take them on up,
but these vehicles did not arrive,
and the poor deluded people had
to come back and hustle for
bread. The farmer who will take
the results of his hard toil
and burn them because he is dis'
appointed in the price, is a poor
deluded creature who should
have his sanity looked into. It
would be far better to hold that
otton for another season, and
plant less this year.

Tonic to the System.
For liver troubles and constipation
there is nothing better than DeWitt's
Early Risers, the famous little Pills.
They do not weaken the stomach. Their
action upon the system is mild, pleas

Fayette. Ind., says, No use talking, De
Witt's Little Eariy Risers do their
work. All other pills I have used gripe
nd make me sick in the stomach and
never cured me. DeWitt's Little Early
Risers proved to be the long sought re
ief. They are simply perfect." Persons

most reliable remedy to carry with

Editor The Manning Times:
C
C
I think the public should thank you 1
for the half column devoted to the
notice of the temperance meeting held
last Sunday evening. The subject is of
so much importance, and the impera
tive need of some active measure to t
lessen the evil is so 'apparent that it
should find a place in your excellent I
paper. You were prevented from hear- )
ing all of the speeches, else you would s
have modified a part of your article' It
was admitted at the outset of the meet
ing that (1) Strong drink has always c
been an evil and will always be an evil f
until the millennium. That even with
local option or prohibition. backed bv
the strongest pnblic sentiment to up
hold the law, there would st-ill be the
necessity of careful scrutiny and con
stant vigilence to get the best results.
(2) That there were honest differences
of opinion as to the best way to control t
the liquor evil. (3) That men could
not be made good by legislation, bi,:
the best legislation could only put a
restraint upon the men who drink. or
remove the temptation: (4) That a r
strong public sentiment was necessary
to the enforcement of any law.
To your sweeping indictment of en
couraging or winking at greater sins
than intemperance I ask to be allowed
to plead "not guilty." There are great
er sins, sins more damning, and more
damaging to the human family, and I
have always tried to show their wick
edness and to condem from the pulpit, f
as well as in private, a life guilty of
these sins, and also to turn such from
these things. I do not claim to be per
fect, and I am liable to err in my at
tempts, but I am sincere in such efforts- t
The League is aimed at one thing
The suppression, as far as possible of
the intemperate use of liquor. It will
make war on the dispensary or a bar
room, or any sale of -liquor which in
creases intemperance. The dispensary
is doomed and the time is not far dis
tant when it will pass away. The ad- t
mitted corruption in its general admin
istration, the growth in the consump
tion of liquor, and the adulterated
brands of liquor sold, will of them- t
selves drive the dispensary law from I
the statute books of South Carolina at I
no distant day. More than this-A
number of us feel that to take the prof
its from the sale of liquor and use it to
lessen our taxes is to take blood-money,
money upon which God's curse rests.
The sale of liquor in our local dispen
sarv is enormous. The population of
the~ county of Clarendon is something
like 30,000. The sales for 1904 amount
to * $66,103.50, and the profitsS12,000, to
be equally divided between the county
and the town. Last year the sales 1
amounted to S54,442.58, a daily average t
of $149.13 This year the average daily c
sale has been $181.10, an increase of
$31.97 daily. The last purchase of
of liquor by the State Board amounted
to 150,300 gallons, an average of 3763
allons for each county in the State. I
Counting 50 gallons to the barrel we
have 75 barrels for each county. Do
you not think we need to be aroused
to the extent of the evil? C
If any attempt is made to convert the <
temperance league into a political force, 2
such an attempt, if successful, will
prove its undoing. Political lines should C
not be drawn in its membership. Tem- 1
perance as a political power is im
potent, but if the people who are ad
herents of temperance principles will,
as individuals, throw their influence in
the direction of having the political e
party, to which they may belong, nom- s
inate none but those who may be clean, i
upright, and temperate men, then t-hey
will become a mighty power in the (
community.
The one aim, Mr. Editor, of the tem- i
perance league is to promote true tem- f
perance in our county, town, and State. 1
Like yourself, '-we want to be certain ~
that we will not be led into an aval- E
anche of evils." We expect differences e
of opinion as to what is best or wisest.
We do not claim that today is the best e
time to remove the dispensary-the I
public sentiment must first be aroused s
to the dangers which threaten us. to
the need of enforcing present laws on f
the statute book-s. In so far as you can y
agree with us we want your hearty co- a
operation. We can and do not ask
more of you. The dispensary is a grow- I
ing evil.This you admit. There are
those of us who do not believe it is r
the best solution, ultimately, of a
the liquor evil, nor do we believe that t
the dispensary law will ever be enforc- t
ed as we find it on the statute book. g
The skin of the Ethiopian can not be
made white, nor the leopard spots il
changed. If the dispensary is swept f
away, the advocates of the dispensary u
must thank themselves for the result, i
for they are idly sitting by and letting v
the evil grow so great through the e
violation of the law, and through the
admitted growing effort to make as p
large sales as possible, that many are
seeking to destroy the monster before v
he becomes of so colossal proportlions 3
that he will be irresistible. Why have t
not the advocates of the dispensary or- t
ganized to curtai~ the evil-to see that b
the law is enforced? I have lived where a
the saloon was open, again where there si
was no licensed sale of liquor, and here ti
under the dispensary. I admit frankly d
that the dispensary, in many respects. si
is better than the open bar-room. S
There are some features of the dispen- I
sary that are deplorable. From my il
own exnerience I will have to say, that b
with many and frequent violations of \
the law, the local option or prohibition
conditions are far preferable to the a
dispensary or the bar-room. d
However you may differ from us, n
Mr. Editor, we ask your co-operation bi
in every legitimate effort to promote a c
temperate life and to lessen the eviL of
intemperance. We have respect for e
you and for the sincerity of your views. 'I
Cordially Yours. o
J. M. HOLLADAY.
*These figures are not absolutely I
correct, for the reason that the Decemi
be sales could not be gotten. Last De
cember (1903) the sales amountedi to
89,637.5, and the profits $1,957.69. In
giing the sales for 1904, I estimatedt
the sales for December at $10,000, and
the profits at $2,000. This, I think, is
conservative-especially, when three 5
days' sales before Christmas day, b
anounted to $3,000, it is said-.

We reached Lanneaus Ferry about i

ianks of Santee tnat night, crossed the
iver Thursday morning and struck

o rest up until next morning before
aking a drive. Met several of our old
riends there and all seemed glad to
ee us. Up to Saturday noon, we had
inly killed two deer, so concluded to

The weather most of the time was

in some former hunts, the party witn

Every deer hunter knows that you
